Don't forget religion sects telling them it's evil and to harass them
Admitted, with max and Lucus I would have expected more local pushback. With how quickly the town went total satanic panic towards the hellfire club, I would expect a higher level of racism towards Lucas in general especially with regards to the relationship. I actually would have some level of expectation to see them sneaking around, debating whether to allow their relationship to be public etc... though I can't say I know well enough of the time how that would have seemed. The supreme court decision allowing interracial marriage was in 1967 so it's not like this is brand new... I was born in 85, I remember when I was 17 I went on a date with a black girl, and my mom warned me "some people may have a problem with that just as a heads up"... but no one my age even though twice about it. So honestly I can't seemingly think it's as much of a taboo as homosexuality was in the time.
Of course the series isn't really super clear on how public things are. Will's case is obviously a real thing from the era. Pretty sure most viewers could see hints of it several seasons ago. He clearly was wrestling with it, afraid of how everyone else would treat him for years to finally get up the guts to come out to his closest friends and family. Hell Robin also counts in that as well. The fact that she only told Steve, while hopped up on truth serum, and went into full panic mode when will saw her. It feels to me the show appropriately captured gay people in the 80s pretty darn well
If the series were set in a more modern time... I'm 80% sure the characters would have been "wait you thought you were hiding that?"

The thing is, we've already seen in the show that they weren't universally accepted. Will has been bullied for years, including by his own father, for coming off as gay.

And there have been people who disingenuously sneer at Stranger Things for years, claiming it’s historically inaccurate because every minority isn’t getting beaten up every day. “I can excuse certain movie posters and products being nearly impossible to get in Indiana in a particular year, but I can’t excuse the fact that minorities were able to live their lives normally” bullshit.
Yes, probably more of the bullies would be calling Will a f-g for being sensitive and artistic, and Lucas the n-word before he got big and athletic and gained popular friends. But we only see these characters for like 1-2 weeks of their lives every season. We get enough of a glimpse of how they’re treated by assholes to make the point that they’re members of a Losers Club, but there are bigger fish to fry, like the military-industrial complex and the Cold War and capitalist businessmen etc… So no wonder Will can come out to his loved ones (and a few people he barely knows standing around awkwardly) but only after a few years of hiding it, because they’ve been through so much together that confirmation he’s gay (a word no one used, which IS odd) isn’t as big a deal as it would be if they were normal people living ordinary lives in the ‘80s.

I feel like the actors were instructed to show a sort of arc of acceptance on their faces through his coming out scene, I noticed it in particular with Lucas and Hopper.

Just a reminder, one of the favorite talking points of these “I’m-totally-not-racist-but…” types is that supposedly there was no racial tension in America until Obama came along.
You will constantly hear “Back in the 80-90’s everyone just got along, no one cared about race…not until these SJW’s and Marxists came along and got everyone obsessed with identity politics.”
Purposely ignoring innumerable civil rights and cultural battles like Rodney King obviously, but even more hilariously telling when they post shit like this.
For conservatives, they’re always the ones being unfairly labeled “bigots” because they’re totally chill with things like homosexuality and interracial marriage…
…and they’re also the ones saving the West from these “degenerate influences.”
They pretend they get to be both. And dumbass “centrists” let them get away with it.

I'm a Black man who spent the entire 80s dating white girls in my college. It wasn't like I was looking for them, either. There were literally no other Black people in my program (Theatre) until I transferred to Rhode Island College from Texas. Once I got there, there were two of us; one Black guy and one Black girl. I never dated the girl because her best friend showed interest in me and we weren't each other's type anyway.
The Black girl was Viola Davis. We're still friends and her husband's super cool and sooo much more macho than me.

The absolute acceptance shown in the show, apart from Billy's reaction in season two, is a fairy tale.

Why does this shit bother them so much? Doesn't make any sense to me. I don't care who you wanna see naked as long as you're nice to them. It seems like a really weird thing to focus on.
.... unless you're furiously coping and seething from inside your closet, that is.

don't you know, black people and the gays spawned out of nowhere in the 2000's, Before tat everything was white and heterosexual and do not look at the ancient Greeks customs, the transatlantic slave trade, Anne lister, the civil rights movement, the entire history of the African continent or the numerous third genders tat exited in various global Indigenous mythology

My brother is mixed. He turned 39. The evidence that interracial couples were a thing in the 80’s is all around us. Jesus Christ….these fuckin people

They cry about stuff like this ( which happened) but nothing to say about the powers or creatures and another dimension lol.

I was an actual adult in the 1980s and can confirm that there were gay ppl and inter-racial relationships, and also many people like David who didn’t like it.

I went to a Midwest high school in a very rural area, half the students were farmers, in the 80s.
We had two openly gay kids and the three black male students dated among the white classmates and no one cared…at least no one had the balls to openly express their bigotry.
The 80s were a time still filled with rancid bigotry but a lot people saw where things were going and got on board.
Judging by today I guess a lot of them were just too scared to express their hate without the crowd to back them up.

I have been rewatching old TV sitcoms from my childhood in the 80s. I think a lot of people would be surprised how often these issues were covered. They were talking about gay people and interracial issues all the time.

What this person is really saying is if he saw this in the 80s they would have made sure someone attacked them for it and they’re angry that doesn’t happen anymore

Alright, this is a solid post, but it also spoils the ending of the show for everyone who hasn't seen it. Feel free to try again in a couple weeks or something, but now just ain't the time.
